I love these shoes. I have worn them since I was in my 20's and I love the way they fit and feel on my feet. I have ordered 4 pair from Zappos and I am so happy with them, how fast they were delivered, and the price. I will order them again and again. 5 star all the way.

I bought these shoes because my mom had a pair that she LIVED in when I was a kid and I was feeling nostalgic. I've had them for over 6 months so I feel like I can now write an accurate review. These shoes are comfortable, considering that they're made from wood, and I had no problems with blisters. I didn't have to break them in at all. They're completely adjustable, but a bit difficult to adjust, which is probably why some reviewers thought thsy weren't adjustable. The metal clip pulls up from the part closest to the INSIDE of your foot. Take the shoe off, pull up on the interior strap and the clip will open. My problem with these shoes is that, as others stater, the sole wears down very quickly and the leather strap stretches out. I have normal width feet and due to the stretching, I've had to adjuat the strap smaller twice. I only have 1 hole left at this point. When the strap gets loose, these shoes become DANGEROUS to walk in. Your foot falls over the side of the shoe, and because it's wood, it hurts! It's like stepping on a pointy matchbox car in the dark. I would not recommend thess shoes.

These are ridiculous! Used to love these things in college about 20 years ago. LIVED in them. Now? Blisters all over the tops of my feet - never mind that the soles go VERY quickly down to the wood (that could have happened in college also, but I possibly didn't care). Anyway bought a couple of pairs of these AGAIN and I keep trying to wear them, but NO! Wore a pair on July 4th last year for the Chicago fireworks and ended up taking them off and walking on concrete, no matter if there were some stones on the ground. WALKING ON STONES was more comfortable than these things. Tried them again yesterday just for walking to the store and came back w/ blisters. For this cost? Save your money.

These sandals are certainly not made like the original ones back in the 70's. There is only a slight toe grip and the strap is not adjustable. They are simply not wearable and they are going back for a refund. These were going to be my "go to" sandals this summer and I'm disappointed that they are now so poorly designed.

These are my favorite summer sandals. I have been wearing them since I was a teenager living in Germany (a long time). I have narrow feet and these shoes fit great. I start at the closest hole and after about three years they stretch out and I have to move to the farthest hole. My only complaint is the price increase every year. I will get a blister or two when I first start wearing the new ones - a couple of weeks and some Band-Aids is all it takes. If you have never worn them before you have to learn to grip with your toes when you walk or you will walk right out of them.
